Reasonably accurate, inexpensive dB meter--ideas?

This would not be to tweek the system, just to monitor my listening levels to avoid potentially unsafe volume exposure {but still make sure it's as loud as I can get away with :)}. Are there any recommendations for a reasonably accurate, inexpensive (under ~100 bucks or so) dB/SPL meter?

I remember reading that Radio Shack discontinued its analog sound level meter and that the rights were bought by ATI, which now markets the product with an improved frequency response. (I recall that the Radio Shack version had a sensitivity fall off at the low end.) I think it sells for about $70 now.

If the rat-shack treats its customers and product in the same manner that it treats its employees, I think I would have second thoughts about patronizing such a company, buy ATI... my 2 cents...

Aolmrd, so how does Radio Shack (mis)treat employees IYO? Probably just like every corporation in the USA - badly.

Joey, You answered your own question...Badly... At some point, in the future of this great country, either we will stick together as one or fly apart as none...

Well at least now at Radio Shack, you don't have to give them all your personal info just to buy a pack of resistors like you used to. That really suxed.
